This work discusses the crossover between SU(4) and SU(2) Kondo effect induced by an orbital effect of external magnetic field. In this case, two mutually orthogonal linear combinations of the wave functions of source and drain leads provide with the two completely separated electronic reservoirs, the pseudospin in reservoirs thus being well defined.
